Every few years, something shifts. The ambition grows. The people around you—designers, architects, builders, clients—start to reach higher. And when that happens, your environment needs to keep pace.

That’s exactly what happened at SHADES.

We’ve always believed our studio should be a reflection of the work we do—and the people we do it with. Over time, as our projects became more technically ambitious and creatively exciting, we realised our space needed to evolve too. It was time for a reset. A step forward.

Welcome to our new home: the SHADES studio at Cremorne House.

This isn’t just a new address—it’s a space that represents the kind of work we’re doing now. A space built for bold thinking, close collaboration and the occasional visit from our studio pups (Juno and Clover). Created in partnership with our talented friends at OLAVER Architecture, the studio is equal parts function and inspiration: calm, purposeful, and quietly surprising in all the right ways.

From material selection to spatial layout, every detail of the studio was considered with intention. Natural light filters through clean, open zones designed to spark connection. Joinery has been custom-built by Mark Tuckey to support how our team actually works—site plans, samples and design-forward conversations. And at the heart of it all is something intangible but essential: a sense of calm, of clarity, of creative momentum.

For us, this isn’t just a studio. It’s a place to gather, to build, to think bigger.

So come by. Take a seat. Have a coffee. Let’s talk about your next project.

Every great project begins with a great space. This is ours.
